Comment 29 for bug 280931

It didn't work. System stops progressing at

* Mounting local file-systems:

I tried to reproduce this bug on my almost identical desktop which was easy. This computer was installed from newer daily disc.

I noticed that the second desktop had a different boot configuration:

old - computer 1:

title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=UUID=841ad554-74e5-4f9b-82b9-00eae02e6c3d ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic
quiet

new - computer 2:

title Ubuntu intrepid (development branch), kernel 2.6.27-7-generic
uuid 5da6aca8-a3a2-4579-ad9b-8691783ede8f
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic
quiet

Using the config from the second computer on the first makes it unbootable. It doesn't even get past grub.
